zero fetch --capability quantaflow-instagram-downloader-scraper-reels-igtv-posts-stories-8d34b5b7 -d '<json body>'
```

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically download or scrape Instagram media (Reels, IGTV, posts, Stories) and want a pay-per-use model via x402 micropayments without a monthly subscription. Ideal for agents that occasionally need Instagram media retrieval without committing to a subscription tier.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or private Instagram URL returns an error or empty response
- Instagram content that has been deleted returns a not-found error
- Rate limiting from the upstream RapidAPI provider may cause failures under high load
- Malformed path or query parameters result in a bad request error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance blocks the request before it reaches the upstream
